I have found a beatiful and inspiring blog about illustrations in childrens' books,
The Apple and The Egg. I found this as I were looking for a brazilian book by Bernardo Carvalho,
A Grande Invasao. Lot's of pictures!
My pictures are from 60th schoolbook
Let's read illustrated by danish/swedish illustrator
Ingrid Vang Nyman, more known as the first illustrator of Pippi Långstrump. I am very fond of the illustrations of animals and things, maybe more so than the ones of the kids. Maybe because the kids are so known and seen in the Pippi-books..
I saw an exhibition a few years ago with her original drawings, they were really really small. She used to sharpen matchsticks and then dip them into ink. After a few lines she had to make another one. She lay in bed, drawing and when the bed was full of inky matchsticks then she covered them up with another sheet. So, who needs an office?
